I am a third-generation filmmaker and active member of the Society of Camera Operators (SOC) and IATSE Local 600. My passion for visual storytelling is a family legacy from my grandfather, renowned cinematographer Gerry Fisher BSC (Highlander, The Go-Between, The Exorcist III), and my father, Cary Fisher (camera operator on Ghost, Coneheads, Breakdown). Despite this legacy, I earned my place the hard way—starting as a PA and driver and grinding my way up through the camera department. This has given me a great education and respect into what it takes to make a project.

​

I’ve shot big-budget commercials, music videos, narratives, docu-style projects, and high-pressure live concerts. Born in New York, raised in Los Angeles, now based in Austin, Texas. I’ve lived the industry’s evolution from film to digital and embraced every technological advance to better serve the story. With over 20 years of on-set experience, I’m completely camera-agnostic. My moto is:
“ANY CAMERA, ANY PLACE, ANY TIME.” My approach is simple: stay ahead of the curve and deliver clean, precise, emotionally resonant images—whether high-octane action or intimate moments.
